Bills WR Stefon Diggs has simple message for J.J. Watt after release from Texans

Stefon Diggs joined the Buffalo Bills last season, and it paid off as he had the best year of his career. The Bills also had their best season in decades, and now Diggs wants one of the league's most sought-after free agents to join him in Buffalo.

Diggs tweeted at former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt on Friday, petitioning for him to join the Bills this offseason.

The Bills have reportedly already shown interest in Watt, as have 11 other franchises. However, Buffalo is one of four teams closely linked to Watt, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans. 

Watt hasn't been shy about making it known that he wants to join a Super Bowl contender, and the Bills came very close to playing on the big stage last season. The Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, but proved they're just a few pieces away from being serious contenders in 2021.
